>XIV has just hit stormblood level of numbers on steamchartsWhy the FUCK did yoshit PISS kill XIV?
You can rest assured that nothing will fundamentally change next expansion.
>>722039953Yoshi P blamed it on Square Enix, saying they didn't give him enough resources to make Dawntrail good. But obviously that wasn't the only problem.
>>722040447If yoshit PISS was given a bigger budget he'd be like>CHING CHONG PING PONG I PUTY MORE WUK LAMANTU>*games dies eve harder*>NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO PREAAASE FORGIVU MEEEEE *cries*
>>722039953I been watching Omega in Monster Hunter, and it just reminded me of how fucking good stormblood patches were.It also is a fucking terrible idea because imagine if 14 fights were as responsive as the Monster Hunter combat system, where the animation actually matters to the damage and such.
>>722040447Damn if only they had enough money to not make the story revolve around an unlikeable writer's pet retardSometimes I feel like giving you a free tomboyish cute catgirl that cheers you on and doesn't make me want to kill myself the second you're finish with a mannish lionfaced woman who steals the entire expansion from not just you but everyone around her was a deliberate choice by whoever was assigned to write the Accordion questline
>>722040815>Temporarily turns into a lion-face abomination shortly after her introduction>Makes it clear that she'll never do that againGive me a big think
>SB numbers but without the soulKill all hrothgars lore breakers
>>722041065I've hated Hrothgar ever since they were announced and that hate has only gotten worse with exposure
Imagine having more content, more rewards, and more money than SB but at a fraction of the quality lmao. In the end, Lyse, Zenos, and Ilberd WON.
note to the thread: OP has been going insane in monster hunter threads ever since omega dropped, he was the only guy responding to his own routine "yoshit piss" bait
Apologize
>>722040447He probably shouldn't have spent all that money on FF16 and split his teams focus on helping develop assets for Eternal Strands, porting Neo Fantasian to PC and Remastering FFTs.
The problem was toxic positivity and enabling bad actorsAnd by those I mean not dismissing hiroi's retarded script and allowing kate free reign on the lore
>>7220399537.35 STILL isn’t out
Karma.
>>722041303Who?
>>722041219This, resource issue was only a part of it but the team made some bad decisions along the way
>>722041194I will not apologize, but I never found enough of an issue with SB. It didn't hit the peak of HW, but at it's worst its also not as bad as HW's lows.
>>722039953>have to wait until mid to late next year to even see a trailer for the next expansion>my sub is currently canceled and the game is deleted>I'm not buying the new monster hunter either, nor any merch>I doubt the next expansion can drag me back because I don't want to run through dawntrail at all.
>>722041303No one cares lala tranny
Still wondering why Arcadion happens to be 100 times more interesting than the entirety of 7.0's msqAs in I'm wondering why they put their best writers on side content (werlyt comes to mind too)
>>722041168not that shocking for an xiv schizo. that said xiv is fucking dogshit and has been since 6.0 ended. The content has been abysmal for years and the only good part of dawntrail was living memory which they ruined. combat got way worse and boring. game should've ended and the only people still playing are the terminally online jacking off to their erp.
>>722041340You know,I couldn't believe fucking Alisaie literally recreated this meme during the 5 minutes of screen time she had
>>722041548Werlyt was hiroi, somehow, pure lightning in a bottle moment
>>722041219When Sony's game Concord massively flopped there were articles doing the rounds giving an autopsy report on the game and what led to the massive failure, considering that game cost Sony anywhere from $400-$800million and one of the biggest aspects of criticism that came out was the Toxic positivity culture around that studio.I recommend reading about how Concord failed because that exact same Toxic Positivity culture surrounds FFXIV or surrounded FFXIV for the longest time.You can't criticise anything because that is seen as being a 'doomer' or trying to bring down the game so critical bugs, features, and gameplay aspects are left unchallenged and launched in broken, unplayable, or down right boring states. That's Dawntrail all over, the amount of bugs and how boring the gameplay has become, far too safe and stale, far too homogenized, far too samey, and the content is majority focused on raid type fights a bunch of people in a single boss room. That shit is so overplayed. That's even before you get to the story.
>>722041194Why would I apologize to my wife?
Is is public knowledge how many titles SE is currently working on? I wonder where all their money went.
>>722041556that wasn't an invitation to bellyache about XIV in bot fashion
>>722039953That's a good thing. Get all the covid wow babbies out of my game.
>>722041656Hiroi was also credited for Shadows of Mhach, fucking loved that shitWhat the fuck happened to that dude during the last few years?
>>722041219>and allowing kate free reign on the loreThis is the worst part because Kate should only be able to ruin the game for English speakers but with her position as loremaster she can ruin it for everyone. She had to have been a huge part of hiring sensitivity consultants to make sure everyone in Tural was as interesting as a lecture on crop rotation. I'm honestly shocked Hiroi got away with the dead baby cave and moblin slavery considering just how sandblasted and sanitized every other culture on the continent was and how everyone just gets alongWhat, you thought a SINGLE MAN in his twilight years holding what are basically North AND South America together literally by himself (as there are no other governing bodies mentioned beyond local tribal leaders) might be an unstable governmental system rife with politicking and seething with pent up aggression? Don't be a doomer. Everyone gets along and the only real problem is if a bad man gets the wheel and drives the entire continent off the rails
>>722039953i just want to see the next expansion i hate the new world and i hate alexandria
>>722041863> Square Enix is likely working on at least 8–12 major games across their internal studios and external partnerships, though this is speculative and could be higher if smaller or unannounced projects are included. The lack of a precise number reflects the company’s cautious approach to revealing projects before they are sufficiently developed.
>>722042120I hate Dawntrail because now people who have never played FF9 associated Alexandria with that cesspit of an expansion when it's one of the best towns in FF9 and a lovely introduction to the game.
>>722042286>yoshit PISS taints another memorable masterpiece during the era where square MADE masterpiecesi fucking hate that snake oil salesman so fucking much. Fire him and send him on the streets after yoshit PISS killed final faggotry. Deport him back to china since he is very likely a chink
>>722041915Having limitations on the story can actually help, you have to cut the fat and focus on the core story
>>722042120
>>722042286FF9 may suck but Dawntrail is so dogshit in comparison that it makes ff9 look like ff7.
>>722042286same but with XI (even though there's been tons of stolen XI stuff in the game since inception)
>>722041952As soon as I saw how bad the writing was from a lore perspective I lost a lot of enjoyment in other contentYou don’t think about it when it’s good but when it sucks you notice. Like a searing wound.
>>722042487>FF9 may suckhidden. XIV is the biggest dogshit pile of trash ever even before it ever had an expansion. Kill yourself yoshit pisser
its morning in australia btw
>>722040447I feel like DT's development was either turbulent or they restarted it. It feels so disjointed and there's this sense like something is definitely not implemented as intended.
>>722042637and barry was right about XIVYour point
>>722042463Don't get me wrong sphene is super cute especially in 7.x but she's not enough to make me forget the taste of wuk lachiasse
>>722042561ff9 is one of my lowest rated FFs and 14 isn't in the top half of the list.dawntrail on it's own would be at the absolute bottom of the list permanently. at least 9 and tactics said something.

>>722043131you are in love with yoship
>>722042286I Just get struck by how that cute little duel 99/100 nobles thing from FF9 would have been perfect and fun to run with, it's something immensely doable in XIV and yet they didn't even bother to do it.>>722041952Yeah, the loremaster business suggests that her influence is not so benign as to just effect the NA. Wait a sec - she's been in charge since SHB, right? That suggests the whole "every society has to become wholesome and fixed by the end" that started with Eulmore is her's. Since prior to that we had much more of the>Forget it jack, it's chinatownElement to places being flawed and unfixable.
>>722042706What's funny is the whole funeral service they made a big deal about at the end of 7.3 is all just happening off screen.https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/special/tales_under_the_golden_sun/sidestory_04/#sidestory_04So 7.4+ will be starting something else entirely. It really astonishes how much they fumbled having DT be a "fresh start", because there's literally nothing setup for them to use.Compare to ARR, where all the little quests you did in the starting zones would give some connection to content later.
>>722043514>because there's literally nothing setup for them to Good. I do not want to see Tural ever again.
>>722043514why is that funny? did you want to attend a third alexandrian remembrance service?

Not playable and also far worse animations.https://youtu.be/82BTiHwCozY?si=8MZXz5dgPEgvMBV_&t=32
>>722043620ThisThe entire fucking continent is tainted but there wasn't fucking anything there of value anyway. Everything we were told was already there was either ignored or destroyed anyway
>>722043628I just like Sphene, that it feels like a waste of hyping her up so much of "omg I"m gonna help fight with you" for literally only one patch.
Is this still that dumb ass spaghetti code game that actually makes its fucked up server lag part of fight mechanics?
>>722043321You're overestimating how much of an effect she has on the writing process. Given the amateurish way they've done the EN localization - and it wasn't any better with Koji in charge - I'm more convinced she just has a hand in picking out VAs for the EN dub.
>>722043514>>722043821They really overextended the story just for an ugly cup that allows interdimensional travel

>>722039953Yoshitpiss is a hack. His genius amounts googling 'what's the most successful MMO' and then fucking copying everything from wow and accept making it slower (3.5 sec gc and somehow gayer for nips.

>>722044183My guess is they wanna bring ryne into the main cast then some shard or meracydia in the far future
>>722043514I fully expect at one fanfest we will come the closest to Yoshi giving a dogeza. It won't actually happen as a real dogeza, hence 'closest', but rather that is the time when they can safely throw a bit of DT under the bus with>What did we learn not to door>We'll make sure not to do thisor even just leave it unsaid but clearly apply some transparent "Please forgive us". They just weren't going to do that up until then because doing so would do nothing good - it'd be saying "yes our expansion was shit, still please buy or play it". Whereas closer to 8.0 they can bank on it being a "We'll do better".>>722044008I hope I am overestimating it. But realizing her takeover coincides with a sudden change in how they handled the macro setting plot makes me think there's not zero influence. Prior to that it was consistently flawed governments. Ever since SHB it's consistently been road-to-damascus rapidfire conversions that tidily fix the issues in Eulmore, Garlemald, the 13th, Tural. That may be the JPN writers just wanting to end shit but it's still noticing.I think you're right but not 100% right if you get what I mean.
>>722044405>I wish they would expand the ARR zonesnever happening

>>722044405>>722044734The closest thing they will ever do to expand the ARR zones was when they allowed some ARR zones, for you to enter the water areas and go underwater back in Endwalker.
>>722044734No shit, which is why I'm wishing
>>722044756
>>722041397That's my biggest gripe. I like playing ff14 once a year but I'm not touching dawntrail and I'm not sure I want to at all later down the road.

>>722045842DAYUUUUUUM
>>722045256I find it more likely she quit because she wants to go back to the US for whatever reason. Maybe has a kid on the way, who knows? Assuming any of these rumors are even true.
>>722046175Yoshi's not stupid enough to go from kate to kate 2.0
>>722045676Suggests she was read the riot act and told how to behave. I also caution that she WILL spitefully pull some shit in the translation of 8.0 that will be very unprofessional (not enough to be fired) as a 'fuck you'. Or if she can't get another freak to voice act the main character they'll find someone for a subordinate role.Which is whatever, I'm not going to bother dodging spoilers like in the past and just want to know if the MSQ will be worth it or not and then I can judge if I play with dubs or subs. But I'm increasingly dour on the idea that short of bringing back the magical fujoshi they can turn the plot around and make anyone give a shit.Like that talk of Sengoku Jidai age of blood - alright, bring in someone other than Hiroi and make it full on Final Fantasy Tactics but Asia and I'll be interested. But what reason do I have to believe they'll do that as opposed to more of the same and yet another rehash of Amaurot which was breathtaking the first time but lost the plot the 3rd or 4th fucking time in less than 10 years they recycled it.

You take a slice of a total population that can be fairly stated to represent the whole. As long as that's true, this methodology is sound. So either argue that steam users just uniquely hate xiv for some reason that native launcher and standalone launcher users don't have, or shut the fuck up.

>>722047606The time for a new FF mmo should have been 7.0, it's too late now SE are too fixed into their retarded 10 more years of FF14. The game is already outdated as fuck, how they convinced themselves they can run it for another 10 years is beyond me.
>>722047827The Japanese special they thought doing what they've been doing is what made them so popular so they didn't want to switch it up. Actually they dug their hole further by trying to make DT to appeal to the younger crowd. But fail to understand MMOs are the boomer genre.
>>722047606People who think SE is going to commit to another MMO are out of their minds. The genre is dying.
I've been gone for a long time. Is Ninja okay? I'm gonna play if if they ever return to form. I miss doing flips.
>>722047830That was before Dawntrail when the game narrative was still (for the most part) kino.
>>722047830I am mixing up Yoshi's remarks but I recall something like after 6.0 he said he had 4-5 more expansions in mind, or that was after 7.0. If it was the latter that's really wishful thinking as it'd put us something like 10 years off given expacs are now 2.5 years. Unless there's another big glut of players joining I think 2 more expansions is realistic, 3 is hopeful and past 3 is delusional. 3 more from 7.0 would put us at least 6 years out from 2024, more so 7-8 years. Blizzard has the big money funding and big population to keep chugging with expansions, it's harder to see FF14 doing that. So let's say 3 more expansions. Now imagine them coming up with a plot to match 1.0 to 6.0 in the span of 3.2 expansions.
>>722048020Yeah that's the point because they're so slow to make any decision, the time to decide to make a new mmo is already passed. It took them 2 years to agree to the Monster Hunter collaboration, 2 fucking years for a single patch collab. They're so slow in doing anything it's unreal.
>>722048001Ironically a new MMO is the safest bet SE can make.>The game is already outdated as fuckExactly why they should make a new fucking game instead of expansions for this doomed shard

>>722048013NIN is still NIN for the most part. You just dump your load (2 minute) and then build for your next 1 minute load dump and then back to your 2 minute. Ninjutsu is the only punishing mechanic that still exists in this game for now.
>>722047653>>722047741I didn't want them to be playable. But all of the other introduced beastmen were at least 3% of the MSQ each. Meanwhile the Lupin did nothing and may as well have not existed.
>>722048283I've gotten around to playing the patch content. How often does Krile appear? Her presence just guts me every time she's onscreen and I don't know how much I can handle dealing with the writers pretending to care about her anymore.
>>722047575Would.
>>722046457Yoshi himself is a progressive.
We must be better lalas
>>722047095If you get it through Steam you're locked into getting expansions through Steam as well as having another barrier to logging in; if Steam is down you can't get on while this is not true for the standalone. If you get the normal version you can buy expansions from the SE store or other places and you won't need to go through Steam to log in. You are an outsider making assumptions.

>>722045107>What are sample sizesdo you retards think they ask everyone in the world when they make a poll too?
was it really his fault?the game's story ended with the last expansion, right?the new stuff may be lackluster but that doesn't stop the fact that the original story's over
>>722049639>Hmm let's hype up Krile's involvement>Let's also put her front and centre for lots of the promo stuff>Hmm what? Kate wants Wuk Lemat to have a larger story involvment after the conclusion of her storyline?>What do you mean Kate wants Wuk Lemat to be the focus of the Alexandria stuff? That plotline directly involves Krile.>Fuck it fine!Methinks this is how it went.
>>722050586so the same shit other action mmos have been doing for decades
seeing this shit I'm glad I tapped out at shadowbringers
>>722039953Good luck getting people to join an MMO to play with their friends when "it gets better 200-1000 hours in!" from ARR 1-2 combo without even an AoE option for most jobs til 40ish. He needs to eat his pride and offer skip potions for DT and possibly one job with the next deluxe expansion to really entice people to give the game a fair shot at this point. It won't happen though since he's a sack of shit and actually prideful of Wuk and DT, despite it all falling flat on the playerbase in terms of reception. It'd also help sell the game on the MonHun collabs at the very least for those curious and not wanting to be scared off of grinding from 1-100 and beating all the current expansions up to 7.0 storyline.
>>722041952>but with her position as loremasterWait, they put her in charge of all the lore? Like, she dictates what the lore is for the game?Christ. That explains so fucking much.
>>722050586So it's the Behemoth fight but with Omega.
>>722048013I tapped out not long after they ruined SAM. I'm sure NIN wasnt far behind.These creatures are utterly addicted to the 2 minute meta. It's so fucking boring and makes every class feel exactly the same.
I feel like making a free trial account where I only use gear that I craft with materials that I gathered but I have played ARR too many times, perhaps after I finish mario odyssey
>>722050647>>722050671wuk lamat is yoshi-p's OC
>>722050724It's funny how some fags insist she didn't have the power to change story elements when Koji did exactly that when he was Loremaster.
>>722050790>wuk lamat is Kate's OC
>>722045256Where can I get the copium you're on but the pendulum is really a-swingin so I hope this is true
gonna do the usual with this one tooclean it up
>>722050671Change Kate to Yoshi and this is about how it went
>>722050923Disregard what this poster says, they're a fan of bgc (big green cock) of the roegadyn variety. Usually at venues on aether when he's not living it up on XIV all day.That's my boy Vizex Xene!
>>722043131>XIV>EoSyou realize XI is still going with a fraction of the playerbase right?
>>722041194She was a joke of a character through HW, and it's OK that she became someone serious because it's otherwise a specifically Japanese style of character that can't be translated to the West: a happy, bouncy, somewhat reckless, somewhat of an idiot 'leader'. But now I realize why Wuk was voiced by a male: being exactly the archetype mentioned above, western women simply cant do it and sound good. Other games try, like Nikke with its dumb pornstar-quality voice acting, but XIV desired a higher, or at least more true-to-the-spirit rendition... but that's sad. There's a lot of leeway in interpretation before a story gets translated to ENG, and they should have changed the character to fit the established western style. So in hindsight, DT is one of the most japanese tropes ever produced.
>>722051254XI is an actual game and RPG though.
>>722045130>seethed hard an hour later about his scheduled shitposting getting peeled up like a scab
>>722042120I hate the cyberpunk purple/gray everywhere. The entire post-MSQ game took place with fucking purple neon all around you. 7.3 was the worst of the offenders. I am so fucking over it. I've never been so sick of a game setting.
>>722050790>trannies beg for xemale versions of race>they get tranny character>game diesuhhh, I'm confused
>>722051254XI costs a hell of a lot less to upkeep than XIV
>>722042159Most studios only release about 10% of what they develop. Lots of titles make it far past story boards and into playable demos that never see the light of day because they decide it's not working out.
>>722050515Wrong, many who have gotten it on steam regret it.
>>722051045It's kinda funni seeing you cower and make such low energy posts now that the jannies put your balls in a vise
>>722051396>comes to thread with content he doesn't like>complains
Didja get your Omega Planetes clear?
>>722051817I'm not playing Wilds until it gets an xpac.
>>722051254>A fraction of the playerbaseAsura had to be locked in order to keep up with the flood of xivfugees, and Bahamut is close behindmeanwhile in xiv, over 2/3 of the houses in EU got demolished because nobody logged in to keep them in the several months since auto demo was last enabled lmao
>>722051952Smart, especially since the game basically released a year too early, so it won't actually catch up to where it should have been until TU4 in December.
>>722051682what?
I honestly can't believe they haven't fired or moved Kate to another position. If she was Japanese, she would have taken responsibility and quit on her own.
>>722051974XI somehow keeps getting better and more contentExcept I'm mad that they're reducing imprimator refresh time right as I'm about to finish Idris and making malignance easier to get right when I finally got the last piece
>>722051794>biblically accurate jannies
>>722048718We must...be better
XI sissies?
same people same threadstruly wonder what possesses people to latch onto xiv this closelymust not have been hugged enough by their parents
>>722044304It's sort of funny. They were putting all their chips on the Dawntrail world as a new start, so they wrapped up and shut down all the previous content. Now Dawntrail is shit, but they can't go back because Endwalker closed all the story lines of the last decade.
>>722050507
absolute sex
>>722052251yeah bwo endwalker closed everything so hard we're still running off emet's checklist
garlemald was a congregation of simpletons.
>>722051794>that imageThe shit some of you people come up with lmao
>>722052307Historically, Emet always said the Garleans were nothing more than a glorified crew
>>722052272GOOD GOD THE URBAN COAT'S THIGHS
>>722045185The rewards are literal dogshit anyway. Plus, a very small minority of the already dying playerbase even fucks with savage in the first place. Not like the faggots who use scripts to play the game for them deserve anything, either.
>>722042920I always thought the scene of Zoraal Ja betraying Zereel Ja was strange as it was an important scene yet there was no voice acting. Plus you had weird shit like Zoraal Ja ambushing the old Roe and the scene plays out like he murdered him.. yet less than a few cutscenes later the guy is up and about like it was only a mild scratch. After all we've seen of him up to that point there was no way Zoraal Ja would be that fucking sloppy to leave him alive.
>>722052272bless you anon
>>722041194SB legit is great in hindsight because no other part of the story talks as much about the more nuanced conflicts of war other than maybe Garlemald in EW.Seeing how Garleans treat Ala Mhigans like shit reminds me how shit israel is too.
>>722051263It's not even the voice acting, the writing itself makes Wuk intolerable. I even like her JP voice acting as I played through DT in that language so I can avoid the ENG voice but even with the character not having that detriment Wuk is still annoying and all encompassing in how she eats up the plot.
>>722050183It's honestly shocking>"You're just mad you weren't the main character"This is far beyond what I think anyone would have expected
>>722052356That thing with Dalmasxalca whatever happened there
>>722045185At minimum the EX version is going to give the weapon augments which makes them competitive with Necron EX weapons
>>>/vg/
>>722044405They need to make a prequel expansion for 1.0. There is so much lore in 1.0 that they only hint at in ARR, to the point you can tell you're missing a lot of shit and no one will fucking explain it. I remember being incredibly annoyed when I first started playing, and having to go check shit on wikis constantly.
>>722050671>Krile's earring her parents left her with gives access to Living Memory but she never, ever would have had the authority to actually use it
>>722052447garlenigger larper spotted.
>>722050720>"We're gonna start a new story">Doesn't include the ability to start fresh with the new story and you need to do ARR, HW, SB, ShB, and EW unless you pay money>Drag the Scions along and a bunch of shit from other expansions anywayThis fucking decision was BAFFLING>>722050724Literally listed as such in the Dawntrail credits yeah.
>>7220527686.1 is actually a better starting point for a new player than 7.0. though alzadal's legacy being the first dungeon a new player does would be lulzy
>>722046426Women like that don't have kids. They have abortions. Then brag about it.
>>722052393I wanted to see what Sareel Ja was up to and then he just fucking dies. What was the point?I hear he comes back in the patches maybe as the Alliance raid but I don't care.
>>722052834>though alzadal's legacy being the first dungeon a new player does would be lulzywhy?
>>722052768>We're gonna start a new story>Story ends by bringing back the villains of the previous story anyway
>>722041194*apologizes by impergnating her violently*
>>722050781NIN is the most untouched job in the game. Swapping mug and trick attack's debeuffs and baking in huton were the most egregious changes I can think of.
>>722051009You're forgetting Yoshi wasn't even in the room for Dawntrail's development. He was developing XVI and getting constantly fellated on press tours. Makes me think he wants to be the next Hideo Kojima.
Boy, crying about Dawntrail. You guys get a new topic yet or do you always think about FF14 when you post here?
>>722052859The alliance raid is basically just the lizard going "Holy shit, I can make memberberries with these electrope blocks!" and proceeds to toss FFXI references at you hoping it will kill you so he can make a fake obedient Gulool Ja Ja to rule over the world.
>>722052863compare it to sastasha. it would literally be the first combat they'd have to deal with. be a lot of dead sprouts.not saying its impossible of course, but in the current MSQ you don't really get truly dangerous mechanics till stone vigil
>>722052909I have no idea what the plan here was>Want to start new so the old guard can move on>Finish the expansion by retreading Amourot for the third time>Literally the only thing that was set up at the end of 7.0 was the reflection-hopping McMuffin because Tural is a shallow puddle with no intrigue>Bring back the Ascians at the end of the post expansion MSQ cycle because the entire fucking expansion faceplanted and you have no fucking ideas>>722053026>Stop being madNo
>>722052925>outing yourself as a shadowbabthey used to have FOUR different upkeep effects, all on different timers>dancing edge, 24s slashing debuff>mutilate, 30s dot, uncomboed>shadow fang, 18s dot 2nd step combo>huton/armour crush, 70s buff that gets 30s of refresh at a timenow they have nonenone.lmao.and this isn't even mentioning how they gutted its role as the aggro management guy when they killed tanks in shb, or how fuma shuriken used to have an actual use because your poisons only applied to physical damage (oh yeah, that's another thing they used to have!)
>>722053029Ealdnarche is aware that he's a simulacrum. And I'm fairly certain that at least Ealdnarche, his brother and Saheel Ja are aware of the 4th wall
>>722053101>>722052909Guys guys guys they're the Winterers now it's totally different
>>722053104>you didn't use dancing edge because warriors did slashing>armor crush wasn't a thing till heavenswardno, Ii think YOU are the shadowbab
>>722053176The camera angle stayed low during that last cutscene so you couldn't see Altima's cute little winter scarf.
>>722053201>the optimal situation is the only situation that existspeople like you are why the gameplay is so fucked right now.
>>722052851I can't imagine making posts like these all day, I got tired of myself trying it out on Tumblr nearly 15 years ago.
>>722053253dots are not interesting or fun
>>722053026UGGHHHHHH GET OUT OF MY THREAD IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT!!! MOOOOOOM THEY'RE BULLYING ME AGAIN
>>722046975This is normal, though. When you're balls deep in something day in and day out, you don't notice a lot. This is why testers are critical. Not just for bugs, but for feedback. You need fresh eyes. A LOT of fresh eyes. And also the ability to listen to them speak without getting defensive.
>>722053292Nothing stopping you from playing a job with only one dot thenit's more interesting and fun than doing LITERALLY NOTHING until 2m cd comes back
>>722046975>yoshi was visibly shocked at the response to DT. I don't remember that
>>722053385if i played melee i'd be a ninja. but i don't like ninja since they added the stupid raiton charges
>>722053101>I have no idea what the plan here wasMy guess is it went something like:>everyone for years is talking about how they want new adventures without ascians and scions, fine fine we'll do it>OH FUCK EVERYONE HATES THE NEW THING LINE GOING DOWN ABORT ABORT>hey guys, check out these new adventures with ascians and scions
>>722045369
>>722053415Only thing I remember from his initial response to the negativity was how we didn't love Wuk Lamat as much as we should be and he'll be taking steps to rectify that.Thankfully they ended up pushing her aside instead with 7.2 (then made her the focus again during the end of 7.3 despite it being Sphene's story at that point).
>>722053292>i dont like thing so thing should be removed and replaced with nothing because i dont have enough control over my actions to simply play something where i dont have to worry about thingIndian mentality.
>>722053439>>hey guys, check out these new adventures with ascians and scionswhich is fucking wild to me. We didn't bitch because it wasn't ascians. We just wanted shit outside Wuk Lamat to matter.
The best pairing to see in game is Male Roe and Female Lala. The roe being intimidating but in reality is a big softie while the Lalafell is the bossy one.
>>722053539I think Yoshida just kinda says stuff sometimes and bullshitters take him completely seriously and try to hold it against him in 4chan threads forever. Even that Wuk Lamat thing strikes me as him just saying stuff to say stuff given the character was treated like any other focal X.0 to X.1-2-3 character and scaled way back, I don't think he actually cares very much in the way that 4chan thread obsessives want him to.
>>722053415He said he wasn't surprised by the reaction to the story, which is even weirderThe only shock was Forked Tower
>>722053623Dedean and Notched Bone
>>722053640I think Yoshi's much more cognizant on what's going on in the community and who's saying stuff than people realize. "Not surprised by the reaction to the story" makes perfect sense if he's already aware that with the population booms FFXIV's community became an autistic fireball that wasn't going to be satisfied whichever way it went, least of all if the story pushes the MC to the side even a little bit after deepthroating the MC for two expansions running.
>>722053640>He said he wasn't surprised by the reaction to the story,Then this means the garbage they put out might have somehow been better than the story they obviously butchered to make what we gotBecause he knew what we got was shit
>>722053629>He just says shit during official interviews He's not that stupid, come on
>>722053542https://www.amazon.com/Apollo-Overhead-Projector-Horizon-V16002M/dp/B000QU40JQ/
I'm impressed that the same mentally ill people have kept posting the same thread over and over and samefags the same posts every time. I wonder how much of their life they've wasted on the MMO they're clearly addicted to.
nigger bomb
>>722053738It's not stupid, he's just not a PR guy and he says shit off the top of his head and he's on the board of directors so nobody can stop him or tell him no. He's like this in literally every interview. Sometimes he stirs shit just for the sake of it, like when he yelled NO NIGGERS IN VALISTHEA for FFXVI interviews, or complained that "JRPG" is a racist term from the treatment Japanese games got by G4 and other American media way back in the day. Sometimes he spoils upcoming patches without meaning to. He doesn't rehearse stuff.
god i want to get cucked by a hung futa roe so bad
I still hate her so muchAnd I know even if she had a reasonable share of the story it still wouldn't have been good because Dawntrail fumbled every single aspect of itself except for maybe some musical tracks (Though Smile is a fucking warcrime). At least at launch, anyway. I abandoned it after killing myself to finish the 7.0 MSQ
He massively fucked up speedrunning endwalker. Skipping the Empire capital to get into lolsorandum bunnies and sharlayan filler was a stupid decision.
>>722053874That all sounds pretty stupid to me though
>>722053874yoshi-p being the source of so many spoilers is hilarious to me
>>722053974Burning everything down to move on to another projectHmmm

>>722053807The truth nuke this thread wasn't ready for.

>>722053952Only bright spot post patch was bringing in OG real Sphene who is the most adorable thing ever... then they proceed to say she's going to be Lyse'd at the end of this current patch because we can't have nice things like a new traveling companion that isn't Wuk.
>Templar>Corsair>Chemist>Green MageI know I'm forgetting some jobs people were convinced were gonna be real
>>722053974>FF14 went to shit at the exact same time he was given lead of FF16 devwow who could've predicted this
>>722054109That's why EW was so terrible in dealing with them. You've had to put up with them for all those expansions and they just end up getting offscreened. You don't even fight Varis canonically as his trial fight is only a dream sequence of Cid's.
>>722054186>Dancer is a healer>The girl you're fighting on the statue is a Mime

>>722054253I didn't want to fight more garleans and I'd rather not have our current Garlemald zone be stretched out to 4 zones when the Ilsabard Contigent arc of EW is probably the best arc in 2.0 to 6.0
>>722054186GeomancerRune KnightTime MageGold Mage
>>722054186Also I was legitimately really sure it was gonna be Corsair instead of Viper because of Merlwyb getting some specific shoot and reload animations for pistol fighting, but 'twas not to be (that doesn't mean it isn't some scrapped or remnant work for COR though) (huffing copium)I'm surprised we haven't gotten some kind of DoT job to make use of Scholar's effectively scrapped gameplay style, like how Reaper absorbed Heavy Thrust from Dragoon, or Sage absorbed Dark Arts from Dark Knight
>>722054284I'm sure that post makes sense to you. Please enlighten us.
>>722054304What the FUCK is a Gold Mage
>>722054109I dunno man, seems cool to me to finally be on the offensive against them going right to their home with townspeople and armies fighting you Could easily do some sob story mini arc with a kid holding a knife saying "don't hurt my mommy and daddy!"Not sure how you'd be able to make them feel like enough of a threat to have a final boss besides some "actually we have this secret zodiark controlling device nyahaha"But otherwise it'd be fun to have multiple armies push onto different regions of Ilsabard with different friendly regions going with you to fight, Limsa navy from the south, mhigger/shroud army from the west, Doma from the East
>>722054310they scrapped all the gameplay styles other than 2 minute burst for a reason, anon. if they can't make a dot job into a 2 minute burst, there won't be a dot job.
>>722054253Varis is a really good fight mechanically but I think thematically he's kind of ass since he's a souped up version of Zenos from the Ala Mhigo dungeon with some Gaius flavor thrown in.
>>722054392Don't forget the Susano blocking sequence as well.
>>722053049Speaking of Sastasha I really wish they would rejigger it to actually encourage reading the note, i'm pretty sure if you do the math it's on average faster to read the note already but they need to make it more so
>>722054370>Could easily do some sob story mini arc with a kid holding a knife saying "don't hurt my mommy and daddy!"don't hurt my sister good enough?
>>722054376They scrapped Arcanist's design because they couldn't meaningfully make changes to Summoner or Scholar alike otherwise, and DoTs are just busywork on most jobs. That doesn't mean they should go away entirely or even at all, but also I don't think most jobs have really changed all that much since Stormblood. Which is also a bad thing! But it's a separate bad thing
>>722054335Pimp class. Gets a big purple hat that makes Red Mages look like pussy ass bitches.
>>722054151yep, 7.3 really fucking killed any little faith I have for this piece of shit of a gamethey really thought it was a good idea to have Sphene practically stuck with Alexandria and the mutt over her joining the Scions or hell, just have her travel around Etheirys on her own or something
>>722052272Sexo
>>722050720>It'd also help sell the game on the MonHun collabsThey should just make the normal level 50 and then the extreme level 100my dream collab of Tyranids from warhammer 40k would have you fighting little guys at various points from 1-50 as part of a questline parallel to the MSQ and then have the boss at 50 followed by another boss every 10 levels
>>722054527>That doesn't mean they should go away entirely or even at allOh, I agree, there needs to be far more gameplay variety. SE disagrees. Jobs are meant to be cosmetic skins, if they have differences then that's bad.>I don't think most jobs have really changed all that much since Stormblood. Which is also a bad thing! But it's a separate bad thingStormblood? No, Shadowbringers for sure. We've had drastic departures from the SB design for PLD, WAR, DRK, MNK, NIN, SAM, BRD, MCH, SMN, BLM, WHM, SCH, and AST. That leaves... what, like, two jobs that look kinda like their SB iterations?
>garlesissies STILL crying about their shitty headcanon expansion
>>722054151They can salvage it by having the next expansion be set in the rest of north America and Sphene stays in contact with you as a sort of mission control back in solution 9

>>722054850ff7 doesn't have the drawing power people think it does. ff7r being shit and performing like shit is proof of that. so no, a sephiroth trial isn't gonna fix anything.besides which, the japs wank off to ff10, not 7
>>722054742I want to give her some pathos while keeping her with us. Have Solution 9 and the entire Alexandrian ruins get sucked back to the 9th shard while she's out in cowboy land or something with us and now she's stuck here until we figure out how to get her back to the 9th shard. Bonus points if somebody does it purposely as they think they're helping her via thinking she'll be happy not constrained to an Alexandria that is completely alien to her now.
>>722054742>>722054850Really what next expansion is was probably set in stone before dawntrail even released, they can try and change details in dev but there's no room to change the core theme of it
>>722047558The funniest shit is they were only added whatsoever to justify Galuf having a wolf-man friend like in FF5
>>722053785you speak in an awfully breedable way anon
How would (You) save FFXIV?
I'm so fucking jealous of MH players getting to enjoy an actually good fight from OUR gameWhy is the best ff14 fight released this year not even in the right fucking gameREEEEEEEE

>7.4 drops >Koana walks up to the WoL in an unvoiced cutscene>Woke Mutt tripped and died>wol says "..."
>>722055101It's very literally Omegascape 3.0 adapted to Monster Hunter
>>722054984given their usual schedule they probably have the script for 8.0 in final editing right now. which means they know where we're going, what new OCs will be introduced (if any), what game they're pulling inspiration from, etc
>>722054850>MUH FF7No one gives a FUCK about FF7Look at how bad the remakes flopped
>>722055035Take a shower nerd
>>722055087fire all the staff. every single person from the lowest codemonkey to yoshit himself.get ANYONE in to replace them and we'll have a better game.
>>722055101https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFGH1gwlMIoyou mean this one?
>>722055087Kate will be fired, but you have to stop spamming /v/ and commit suicide. Deal?
>>722054984With the sippy cup being pretty much the only outstanding plot point, it seems like 8.0 being a shard hop of some kind is inevitable. The only real question is where we'll end up going.
I'm jellyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YX-XkbOlvA
>>722055174Will you be joining me, sexy?
>>722054370>Not sure how you'd be able to make them feel like enough of a threat to have a final boss besides some "actually we have this secret zodiark controlling device nyahaha"Anima was a perfect Garlemald final boss. IT was the perfect narrative end for Garlemald, their national spirit turned into their worst nightmare, a primal. They didn't need to be the final boss of the whole story but they deserved more than they got. And they were planned to get it, Yoshida just thought they'd get more money if they mashed the Garlemald expansion into EW and rushed to the end for some reason.
>>722054769What? That was the only good part of EW.
>>722055240well we have 4 unknown shards left. and if my theory about the remaining shards is true then they're all elementally tilted and primed for a rejoining like the first and ninth. the wind and earth phases of interphos normal are showing two of the remaining shards being a near-void of wind and earth
>>722055305On opposite day, sure.
>>722055305best part of EW was taking the experimental aetheryte with the boys
>>722055325Was your favorite part of EW the world ending apocalypse localized to two zones, or the plothole producing Emet-Selch date?
>>722054717yeah i'm sure they had a varis extreme fight with no proper boss theme cooked up just because we visit him in a dream sequenceit's definitely just a coincidence that the garlemald zone and related characters had some of the strongest storytelling
>>722055087Shifted from this one timmy?
>>722055305Fuck those people who bitched and moaned about the Garlean Soldier bit, that was one of the best parts of the expansion.Sucks my character had the Matoya Hat on during those cutscenes before and after so I couldn't see the facial expressions.
>>722047575
>>722055319The wind phase is marked with a X which was already rejoined in the Fifth Calamity.
>>722055385My favorite part of EW was a Final Fantasy 1 style time loop, that neatly follows the rules already set by Alexander's questline, raping everybody's brains on 4chan for years.
>>722055413How would (You) shit up xi/v/ threads?
buck broken by wow
>>722055385>the final days was said to affect certain areas first and spread to others later as early as 5.0>blasphemies don't even need the skies to be burning to appear>>722055445they don't speak garlean on the 10th
>>722055408You don't need to guess, dude. Yoshida openly told everyone in the live letter before EW launched that they originally had a full Garlemald expansion planned. Shortly after, Ishikawa gave some details in an interview saying Anima would have been the last boss. Yoshida recently confirmed it again in another interview like a month ago.
>>722055319If we go to a water shard can we finally get underwater combat, WoW had this in fucking (i'm not actually totally certain about what year because I started in cata but I think it was available from the start) 2004

>>722055408Nigga this was just false marketing like the scion civil war and shit. You got played because you're a retarded CONSOOOOOMER.
>>722055475Simple, pitch a fit whenever there's a ritual post you didn't start and don't make.
>>722055258No.
>>722055465If you'd actually played FF1, you'd know the timeloop is broken at the end and history is rewritten. Your post also doesn't address the plotholes at all, you're just trying to dismiss them by coping about it being an FF1 reference (it's not).
>>722055475I would beg for black futa bulls to fuck my eb

>>722055720GRRRRRRAHHHHHHHHHHWITH ALL OF MY MIGHT!GHETTO DESTROYING SLASH!
>>722055798It's awful but there's really nothing else they can do. The Source is a solved setting.
>>722055585>If you'd actually played FF1, you'd know the timeloop is broken at the end and history is rewritten.I don't know what this has to do with my post at all. Given the freakout you had to another poster, and the inordinately specific bit about Pagos, I assume you're trying to go on lolcow safari and it didn't work. Better luck next time.
>>722055851It was over as soon as they cured Tempering. Primals became completely defanged.
>>722055673is this what Quickills Allniggers would have done if he'd got control of Alexander
>>722055868>I don't know what this has to do with my post at all.It proves that your post is retarded cope and you have no idea what the fuck you're talking about. FF1 does not have an Alexander style time loop, because the entire point is that you break it and rewrite history. Alexander time loops don't allow for any such thing, there is the one self-sustaining loop that can't be broken. Play video games before you comment on them, dogfucker.
>>722055926He could've saved us from the mhigger arc...
>>722055798What does anybody want from "something else" and what would that even accomplish over the formulaic plot are both questions worth asking>>722055912Primals are still dangerous for obvious reasons, tempering just means they can't rape your mind into permanent servitude
>>722054335
>>722055798something has to happen in order for there to be a plot hook. so its either:>outer space>other dimensions>time travel>secret evil society that somehow managed to become a threat in under a year since EW>rehashing allagans or ancientssure, a new bad guy can show up but he'd fall under one of these, and all of these have been done at least once now
>>722055585yoshit pissers dont play old FF games. I remember a /vg/ CHAD in /wowg/ fighting an entire yoshit piss army on how stupid that timeloop was. That entire thread was 90% that fight and im pretty sure it mindbroke a schizo so hard it started the schizo who just spams “zodiark trance” anytime you critique endwalkers storylittle did they know that the game would continue getting more shit and kill itself with wuk lmao. Endwalker haters were right all along
>>722055926>Quickills Allniggers
>>722055087I wouldn't.
>>722055950I dismissed you for a failed lolcow safari, no need to reply further. Random insults won't help.
>>722055961That was like 90 percent of the threat a Primal poses. Without that even Grand Company NPC shitters could fight Primals.
>>722055987>yoshit pissers dont play old FF gamesThe retard I'm arguing with doesn't even play FFXIV.
>>722055912primals are still dangerous. they're just not as gruesome to clean up after now. and necron was actually a really good idea in concept, but he couldn't count on sphene's plot powers
>>722056035This is the correct answer.
I've logged in maybe twice since the Cosmo Exploration update hit. Haven't done shit. I fucking hate how you need Discord for Forked Tower, I fucking hate advanced recipes and I fucking hate Deep Dungeon so there's nothing for me to do until 7.4
YOOOOO OUR LOCAL SCHIZO IS SEEING HIS BOOGEYMAN AGAINLETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOXIVVIES RISE UP
>>722055961and even then it's not like every single soul on the planet has the charm that prevents it. Hell, fucking Odin is still prancing around in the Shroud doing his thing even after EW, killing and possessing people like he always does. Primals are still dangerous despite having full dedicated teams of Primal Busters out there.
>>722055851i mean not really? Tural should have been home to various primal-level monsters and other oddities like Valigarmanda but they couldnt resist doing a shard-hopping story instead a small-scall story like a political party trying to take over the whole continent by using these Tural Vidraals.Then just reveal the evil party was controlled by some mysterious evil dude maybe from some shithole shard to make the setting interesting.
I quit FFXIV for blue archive and I'm so much happier now.
>>722056038Learn to play video games before you comment on them. You can start with FFXIV.
>>722056039Maybe 25% since you still have a giant fire monster or a wind harpy you can't even approach without an artifact even without the tempering part
>>722055987Hey, I've beaten every flagship FF but 8, 10, 13, and 15! And I'm playing 8 now. I don't get the hate for it.t. none of those anons but I do enjoy xiv
>>722056127>Tural should have been home to various primal-level monsters and other oddities like ValigarmandaIt should have been, but it wasn't. And the writers barely wanted to touch Tural before the reaction to 7.0, as a setting it's fucking done and we will never look at it again. The lore for Tural was almost completely unwritten except for blue mages, Mamool Ja, potatoes, and avocados. They could have done anything and they just didn't.
there was no party finder in 2.0
>>722056138No need to repeat yourself, if it didn't stick the first time it won't stick the second.
>>722056127Tural would be a smoking crater if it had more than one Valigarmanda tier threat active
The biggest crime XIV committed was turning the Four Fiends into the two fiends and two dungeon bosses. And then completing shitting on the plot being set up by the Lv80 Job Quest finale. That was the sign the MSQ was going down hill.
>>722056220That's some heavy fucking irony coming from you.
>>722056208>we see a grand total of two blue mages in fucking Tural>and they're locked to a DoL quest line.
>>722056043They quite literally only play xiv all day hence why they vehemently defend it here to death, trying to drum up any form of discussion like we haven't had the driest months on /v/ in years
>>722056276but I thought the NEw WoRLd was a dangerous frontier with unknown elements instead of tacoland
>>722056209Shouting in Mor Dhona for Titan HM, and in Wineport for Coil... I don't miss it, because people are still shit at fights.
>>722056220It's funny that he's hanging onto the time loop thing so hard because I'm pretty sure you learn about the time loop right at the end of the game if I'm remembering rightWhat a sperg lol I love when he melts down like a total autist
>>722056318Nah, the biggest white knight here literally does not even play FFXIV. As to where he gets his insane devotion to the game, I have no clue.
>>722055087another dalamud event that shuts down servers for like a week while they implement a new beginning so sprouts can start at 6.1 (hahaha)
>>722056318I doubt anyone is even playing XIV now. They might log in and let the game run, but they're not actually playing it.
I really liked pre-nerf Pagos.

>>722056490Why is Leto there? That CP spamming furry isn't an "XIV boogeyman"
I haven't played since DT release. Did things get better?
>>722056661There are no broken loops, you don't understand how Alexander's time travel works. There is the one loop that has always existed and always will exist because that is how history plays out. You don't even remember what Shanoa is or what role she plays in that story, so just shut up and play video games before you comment on them.

>>722056848OC isn't capable of being saved by this point as the casual base already sees it as a 'why bother' thing now that YoshiP and company refuses to make a more accessible and casual Forked Tower difficulty plus the sub-job system being a horrible substitute for the fun shit you can do in Bozja.

>>722057282Agreed with Forked Tower being the problem, CLL/DR/Dalriada are a big part of Bozja's longevity for me and a large part of why I stuck out and almost got all relic weapons finished before Shadowbringers finished

Still waiting on the mobile game.
>>722057282>because FT proved to be a dud it didn't keep people in the instance past the first weekYeah, because the zone itself isn't fun or rewarding enough to do on its own. There's no real loop, it's a shitty square with 10 FATEs on loop and subjobs that only exist to serve Forked Tower. It's a shit zone unless you're pogging your eyeballs out when you pick up another Boulvadier's pants.

Eureka fun.Bozja fun.OC garbage.Simple as.
>>722057498Because everything valuable in the OC chests came from fucking Eureka.That content was so fucking shit it even managed to retroactively ruin other parts of the game that had evergreen rewards.
>>722057562Eureka instance cap is 144, lil gup. Play video games before you comment on them.
>>722057612got a single screenshot that proves there were multiple full instances before shadowbringers?
>>722057562>instanceSreally not beating the retard allegations here
>>722057498Bc the rate of getting carrots in OC was too low and the reward for the chests wasnt good enough
>>722057684You can't prove that with a screenshot. There is no window that pops up showing instance numbers like it's Cosmic Exploration or something. You only know there are multiple instances by zoning in and out. You keep proving over and over again that you don't actually know how the fuck Eureka works at all.
>>722057739>it was like this 7 years ago>i can't prove it, just trust methis is yoshi-p's greatest champion
>remembering how excited you were for OC before it came outMakes me sad.
>>722055087fire every wokeoid on the staff. yes this includes yoshi p.wuk lamat died on the way back to her home planet. just do a straight up parody of the Simpsons scene, complete with obvious replacement voice and last minute animation.then we do a plotline showing that the Garleans were right all along and all this naive kumbaya unite the world shit doesn't work, and fascism really IS the best way to run society. maybe the (((lalafells))) go mask off and try to destroy the goyim or something. you have to struggle against an entrenched enemy who control the banks and the media.
>>722056441I still need to play 10, 12 and Tactics(PS1)Tactics Advance was pretty funNot in a rush to play 15 or 16 at allAfter Years isn't THAT bad, I really enjoyed the moon memberberries even if everything before it is an extremely tedious retread>>722057440The zone's gameplay loop is so bad, it's nonstop running between exploding FATEs and boss rushesWhere's the spawning and weather based stuff? Mob farming that isn't the stuff in the corner of the map for currency?It also doesn't help that they completely fucked up the loot tables and drop rates>>722057498Rewards, drop rarity and gil drops were way better in EurekaThe logos were also a big part of the farm in Eureka's stuffThe content was evergreen as someone else mentioned
>>722057786FT is the only real flub for me but it's a linchpin flub
If you'll please consult the numbers.
>>722057427Plenty of cool jobs they "can" go for but aren't going to use. Though considering how they've been fucking them all up, not sure if that's really a bad thing.
>>722044919Stormblood wasn't that bad at all. It wasn't as good as Heavensward, or Shadowbringers, or Endwalker but its highs were definitely great, even better than ARR. As soon as we went to Not Japan shit became great. And certainly better than Dawntrail. I honestly hope Wuk gets Poochied back to her Home Planet.
>>722057786shit sucks
>>722057739I'm like 90% sure you could open the player list ui and see a list of everyone in the instance as well as how long they've been in it. You can do that currently in OC, and you could do it in Bozja for sure.
How quick will everyone pretend they always had faith in YoshiP if 8.0 actually does as advertised and does a big job improvement
>>722057786The sub jobs are the only interesting part, having to work with the kit instead of optimizing actions is coolShame about LITERALLY everything else tho
>didnt skip any cutscene in 7.0 thinking "surely itll get better after this">finally gave up during the final trial bit, first time I ever skipped a cutscene>skipped everything sinceAnd I will keep hitting skip until 8.0 at the very least, speen is not coming with us to replace alisae, so I cant be bothered
>>722057780You've displayed that you don't even understand the basics of queueing into Eureka. Your opinion here is completely worthless.
>>722057940That wouldn't show that there are multiple full instances. It would show that there's one full instance. You wouldn't be able to queue into other full instances because they're full.
>>722057950no one can replace my teen wife Alisaie
>>722048218Should have gone into maintenance mode with Endwalker. Game had the perfect ending. Dawntrail was a mistake.
>>722057953still waiting on the tiniest shred of evidence that there were multiple full instances at all times before shadowbringers

>>722057842Disregard this wall of text, they're a fan of big green roegadyn cock. You'd suggest /vg/ to this poster if he wants 'em so bad, but he'd just laugh it off!
>>722058050It's even worse when you compare Stormblood player count to Dawntrail player count. Although, soon there won't be a difference.
>>722058036>oh you didn't take screenshots 7 years in advance to prove newfags wrong? heh, looks like almighty Science wins again, praise Fauci!You literally haven't even queued into Eureka and you fucked up and gave that away several times. Your opinion on the quality of OC compared to Eureka is worthless. Kill yourself, endbryo.
God help us if 8.0 is worse that DT
>>722058179just a tiny morsel of evidence. something. ANYTHING that says you're not full of shit (that i know you are)
>>722058169That cratering isn't happening, a couple specific population bubbles popped
>>722058050My rarest trophy is the occult record because fucking no one did FTBIt also took me a month of playing to get the berserker one to drop
>>722057947>if 8.0 actually does as advertised and does a big job improvement
>>722052291I think it was for the best to end it all with Endwalker. Imagine the clowns that wrote Dawntrail had a stab at the end of the Hydaelyn and Zodiark Saga.
>>722058091I just didn't bother getting a static for Forked Tower because it straight up looked unfun compared to BA or Delubrum SavageChaotic was already an unfun body check mess to grind out man I'm fucking sick of them making everything an extension of Savage and I actually do Savage and Ultimates
>>722057786>hrothgars front and center>anything but shit>literally said they weren't going to change job designsHype for what
Obviously the story ended with endwalker, they should be in full production with the successor MMO but being I but square and yoshi piss haven't even started writing it yet, will 14 survive another 10+ years until the release of the next one?
>>722058205It would kill the gameIn fact, unless 8.0 is fucking fantastic itll continue to stagnate and die, people are more cautious now and itll need to receive serious praise for people to consider coming back, theyre not gonna be lining up day 1 this time, hell they didnt do that for DT eitherI remember the login queues for endwalker and ShB, DT had none
>>722058220https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUuLuIDk7QAMove the goalposts now, endbryo.
>>722057947I'd rather be proven wrong and there be great improvements than be right and things stay in this sorry state.YoshiP going to the retards who prefer this shit and telling them not worry is not helping though.
>>722058127>everything else that drops quickly craters to 5 gil in value no matter what it is because everything drops too frequently>this hurts older content as a resultYOSHITPIIIISSSSSS
>>722058241This amount of delusion is not healthy. Jesus Christ dude, it's a fucking video game.
>>722053629Wuk Lamat needs to end like Poochie. Sent to her home Planet on a Ship and said Ship to magically explode and never be mentioned again. She is universally hated. Kill her.
>>722058257waiting feverishly for dawntrail credits so everyone can see it's all the same writers as there ever were
It's funny watching you guys wallow in your misery as the game slowly dies.As if XIV never had any depth to begin with. Only the true addicts are left.
>>722058317that's less to do with turnout, and more with them upgrading their old-ass login backend to actually handle floods of users because of what happened with EW and its 10000+ long queues
>>722058319i don't see a full instance. the frame rate is far too high for a full instance
>>722058338he isn't saying nothing will change he's saying they aren't completely redesigning combat or anything retarded like that
>>722057947>8.0 actually does as advertised and does a big job improvementYou are delusional if you think this is happeningThey have tooled everything in the game around the current design for the past decade, the boxed themselves in
>>722058371>I can't read bar graphs
>>722058506I know you can't.
The only way to save OC is to increase the damn carrot droprate, just remove the 200k gil reward and replace it with OC silver and gold coins ffs
>>722057947>big job improvementLike that time they changed MNK for the worseOr like that time they changed AST for the worseOr like that time they changed DRK for the worseOr like that time they changed MCH for the worseOr like that time they changed DRG for the worseOr like that other time they changed MNK for the worseOr like that time they changed SAM for the worseOr like that other other time they changed MNK for the worseOr like that other time they changed AST for the worseOr like that time they changed SMN for the worseOr like that other other other time they changed MNK for the worseOr like that time they changed VPR for the worseOr like that time they changed BLM for the worseI'm starting to see a pattern here about these "improvements"
>>722058435I also never saw people crowded around story npcs, the only exception was when savage was releasedYahna is super cute btw
>>722058317>I remember the login queues for endwalker and ShB, DT had noneThis was just them updating server capacity, people still straggled on forward from Endwalker, but like 40% of people just jumped ship after the atrocious story and now anemic patches
>>722058541I have literally never seen a carrot. That achievement is absurd. Who even comes up with this shit? It's like the accursed hoard achievement.
Honestly. The raids are the only good part of DT
>>722058560all the listed classes play better now than they did when they were releasedi will accept no discussion on this matter as its proven by fact
>>722058541This is so clearly a gil sink achievement grindIt's simply absurd to do this any other way
>>722058050>wow I guess people don't want free-form content with light RPG mechanics like an MMO>well then boys, let's make another mechanic spam body check 8 man fight
>>722058560MNK is goodAST, DRK and MCH were bad choices made to jerk off War of the LionsDRG has barely changed in a decade (derogatory)
>>722058627Did someone say body checks?!
>>722051974>over 2/3 of the houses in EU got demolishedIt was closer to 1/4There were about 16k demolitions and (I don't have the exact number but) 64-72k plots total across chaos and light.It's a sign of massive detachment from the game by formally dedicated players but let's not get ahead of ourselves. 2/3 houses demolished would be insane.
>>722058050Do you need to ask the discord mafia if you are allowed to play Forked tower? If it's anything like Eureka it makes sense to just say F that and skip it.
>>722058694Yep
>>722058653DRG went from BotD upkeep/management to just press the glowing button
>>722055087Appoint a chud with the power to veto anything in the game on political groundsAsk Hiroi about anything he wanted to do differently that progressive mandates stopped him from doing and remake dawntrail to match what it should have been, but don't put too many resources into this that could go to future content, hire a B team to do it or something, recasting Wuk is probably poking the bear too much though so we're stuck with that, with any luck he might just refuse to return and then we could recast.Even if it wasn't politics that lead to it come up with something better for repelling the Alexandrian invasion than lol dragon allies, maybe go back to the shadowbringers idea of requiring you do at least 1 role quest to continue the MSQ, the totem powers might not all be good enough for repeling invasion but you could have the finest mages on etheriys work together to make a spell to temporarily release the vidral to fight the armyGive black mage it's timer backBring down the difficulty of extremes slightly, it's gotten a bit out of hand
>>722058614>>722058653>nu-MNK>goodfaggots that started the game in 5.0+ don't get to have an opinion
>>722058560>Casters got fucked so hard now RDM is most big brain casterVerfuck?
>>722058694FT is a slightly easier DRS that needs more coordination out of combat. its the hardest of the three to do without comms
>>722058468(This user has been beaten to death by Yans)
>>722058747Ohhh but the old one is so janky ugggh like oooohhhh so janky clunk oooh uaaaahhh the spinning plates
>>722058747you miss haymaker that much? because just doing 1 2 3 4 5 6 ad infinitum wasn't that interesting
>>722058747Greased Lightning sucks balls
>>722058606The raids were a lot of fun so farGetting week 1 cleared in the 2nd tier was hard, I liked the challenge and loved M6S>>722058627>make shit version of a piece of content>people don't like it>"guess this style of content is not popular!"Pic rel>>722058694It's like that Chaotic raid they released earlier on, body checks and allAll they had to do was make a normal mode like Bozja
>>722058776The memes were pretty good
>>722058825>because just doing 1 2 3 4 5 6 ad infinitumThat's not what MNK did, but that is what it does now. Holy shit you are clueless.
>>722058825I miss Fracturealso real positionals
>>722058747I came back to for the first time since DT for the free login, and the DT MNK changes floored me>>722058825You never did that but now all you do is press the shiny GCD :)
>>722058863my bad. you added Fracture to the 'rotation' as well
>>722058776Hell yeah, Reaper was solid on those adds week 1Nothing better than gaugemaxxing and unloading
>>722058541>500 chest opened>found 2>bunny chests gave me materia and gil >go to marketboard to get more>4million gol eachFuck off trannies
>>722058127>>722058358Whoever okayed all the Eureka and Bozja mounts/minions/etc dropping in OC chests needs to unironically be tied to a concrete block and taken for a long walk off a short pier. Instantly killed 80% of the reason to do the other two field operations.
>>722058895Your main combo always shifted because of Demolish timings.Touch of Death existed.You could delay positionals (which were required or you lost your combo) with intelligent usage of Touch of Death or Fracture.Fracture was not a normal part of the rotation, it was situational.You are completely fucking clueless.
>>722058468Speaking of yans raids unfucked themselves, no saying that jobs won't or can't. 2m buff abandonment really is not that big a deal
>>722058009The whole plot has to have happened over at absolute minimum 3 years, she ain't a teen anymore, and mentally even older
>>722058817Having to think about what I'm doing instead of mindlessly pressing the same 5 buttons over and over while the job plays itself? AIEEEEEEEEEEEEE SAVE ME YOSHIDDER
>>722057947Doomposting about this is great because you can shitpost that they're incompetentBut if it turns out they do actually manage to revitalize jobs, then it's a win-win because that's what we wanted anyways
>>722058742I shan't be doing it, I suffered through BA, the callers and discord groups were pure cancer, between the spanish guy nobody can understand and the tranny making calls.
>>722057947>heh, you are gonna look soooo dumb when you get exactly what you want
>>722058961its been ~18 months since you arrived in Eorzea as of dawntrailwhich means even in the archaic californian sense, alisaie is legal
>>722058750>8.0>RDM's black and white mana mechanic gets removed because retards found it too difficult to remember to balance them
>>722058928There was no reason to do it eitherI genuinely wonder what the goal was, shuffle people out of that into the new content?It just hurts the liveliness of the game for a brief momentary """"gain????""""Now less people will do that old content that is actually worth experiencing and people will run out of shit to do even faster
>>722058825>he doesn't remember the peak of MNKey business Today I will remind them: that we once had fun.

The job changes were all great and this is a very strong opinion of mine that I will defend to the death.No I didn't play any of them before and I won't play them now.I only play White Mage.
>>722059102You will never be a woman.
>>722059046>when they were changing their FPS to weird ass intervals and calculating it on a fight to fight basisAnd none of it was necessary, Black Mage players did the same shitI remember Tornado Kick rotation being the hot thing in Stormblood and I never did it, I just did the dev intended rotation and still slammed out orange parses anyways on console
>>722059020>join a FT static>pick up some randoms to fill one night>shot caller sounds like a normal grumpy autist dude, deep voice>one of the randoms refers to him as "him">"SHE!"
>>722059117the one that made out like a bandit for job changes after stormblood insulted them?
>>722059148Thank fuck for that.
What if we talked about a real topic, like who is best girl?
>>722059103They never did to begin withThey went out of their way to remove shit like this though, a la BLM in DT
>>722057786Within the first week they should have hyper nerfed FT and allowed anyone to queue into it instead of doubling down on it being the new BA.
>>722059117are you me?i'd probably play sage if i didn't dislike the aesthetics so much
thread is so shitbraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaap
>>722059161Just be glad that these people are being shoved back in the box and can only persist in autistic corners like thisFucking weirdos man
>>722059212If they nerfed FT to the point none of the required subjobs were necessary they'd also have to rework half the subjobs because shit like Ranger and Thief has no usage outside of those specific jobs in FT.

>>722059594Two books.SMN's Apocalypse is demon themed so we can drop primals and start turning into demons, right?
Im still mad SCH didnt get a big fairy as their lvl 100 abilityAlso eos should have an idle where she sits on your shoulder like minions so
>>722059103It was substantially more than that in a high uptime fight, but besides the numbers autism it was fun as fuck Tornado Kicking, using Wind Tackle and using the kit in a way the devs didn't intend.
>>722059649thats the 'official' timeline. though they did fuck up and gave us an actual canon date as to when ketenramm left limsa and gulool ja ja's campaign, etc so that the other anon is right, its been 3 years
>>722058960Savage is like 15% better than in Endwalker. Extremes have been basically the same as before and only EX1 was truly fun. I didn't play FRU but I know the reception was lukewarm.Jobs need to be about 300% more interesting to fix the game, and this team is not brave enough to make such big changes.
>>722059181Tataru of course

I hated the TK rotation but the Anatman opener was pretty funny. Then they got rid of it but kept that now useless skill around for an entire expansion.
>>722059408Oh also alsoLet Materia visit other continents, I understand they don't want our shit ping messing with gameplay for others but at least let us visit other DCs residential districts, I wanna see what people with the same apartment as me on other servers have.
